This is intentional - the idea is to sort numbered files eg mp3 files in
the expected order:

1. Foo
2. Bar
...
10. Baz
...

This means that 2 (or 02) has to come after 1 (or 01) but before 10 -
when any are followed by a non-digit.

This is known as "natural" sorting -

I agree it can seem a bit weird when applied to files that aren't
numbered but instead are a string of eg hex digits like hashes. I've
been confused by it before...
